The disclosure provides a novel method for producing a polymerizable composition for optical materials, in which the occurrence of gelation is suppressed even though an organophosphorus compound is used during the preparation of a polymerizable composition for optical materials of a thiourethane-based resin having a high refractive index and suppressed coloration, and the like. A method for producing a polymerizable composition for optical materials, including: a step of providing an organophosphorus compound, a polyisocyanate, a first polythiol, and a second polythiol; and a step of mixing the polyisocyanate and the first and second polythiols in the presence of the organophosphorus compound to obtain a polymerizable composition for optical materials, wherein, in the mixing step, the polyisocyanate and the first polythiol are mixed, and then the second polythiol is further added and mixed.

The diisocyanate composition according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises, in the composition, a benzyl isocyanate having a methyl group in an amount of 5 ppm to 200 ppm, an aromatic compound having a halogen group in an amount of 5 ppm to 1,000 ppm, a benzyl isocyanate having an ethyl group in an amount of 1 ppm to 1,000 ppm, or a combination thereof. It is possible to improve the optical characteristics by preventing the occurrence of yellowing, striae, and cloudiness and to enhance the mechanical properties such as impact resistance at the same time. Thus, it can be advantageously used to prepare an optical material of high quality.
